SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
(Drawings are attached for reference)

 Ensure that the mobile communication between different work site and Gas Control room
KT is working properly.

CTS BIN QASIM SECTION-IV (refer Annexure-I)

 Hold Pre-Job meeting and assign duties to all officers & Staff participating in the
Operation. A Toolbox Talk (safety meeting) is to be arranged that focuses on safety
topics related to the job, such as workplace hazards and safe work practices. Explain
safety precautions to be taken during the operation to all team members.
 Segregate work area & erect safety signage at site.
 Arrange portable fire extinguishers, personal protective equipment (PPEs) & First Aid
Box (To be arranged by concerned section in-charge).
 Before starting activity ensures that the gas injection from FOTCO gas terminal is
within 100 MMCFD during the entire activity.
 Seek permission from Gas Control KT to start job. At the commencement of RLNG gas
injection from second terminal vent valve at upstream of 30” dia valve “A” to be opened
for purging and it is to ensure that clean gas is coming out of the vent.
  When 100% clean gas is coming out of the vent close the vent and gradually open 30” dia
ball valve “A” at CTS Bin-Qasim to allow RLNG injection from FOTCO re-gasification
system into SSGCL 42” dia RLNG-II pipeline.
MVA PAKLAND SECTION-IV (refer Annexure-II)
 Ensure that all the 42” dia main valves at MVA RS-5, Thatta & RS-4 are open.
 In close coordination with Gas Control KT open 42” dia ball valve “B”, “C” and “D” at
MVA Pakland and allow gas by opening meter skid by-pass pipeline valves to
pressurize the 42” dia RLNG-II Pipeline from MVA Pakland to MVA SMS Kotri.
(Keeping in view gas supply and demand condition of the system).
MVA SMS KOTRI HQ-3 SECTION (refer Annexure-III)
 When the pressure of 42” dia RLNG-II pipeline and 24” dia SNG-KYC pipeline
equalizes then first close 24” dia main valve “E” and open 42” dia interconnection valve
and 24” dia interconnection valve at MVA SMS Kotri as shown in detail A-A of drawing
SMS Kotri.
 Make sure that interconnection valve between 16” dia ILBP pipeline and 18” Badin
pipeline is closed. Open interconnection valve “R” of 24” dia SNG-KYC pipeline and
18” dia Badin Pipeline at MVA SMS Kotri.
 Open interconnection valve “p”, interconnecting 20” dia Kadanwari pipeline and 24” dia

Lundo will first pressurized by opening 16” dia sacrificial valve at MVA Lundu
gradually (keeping in view that the supply to HQ2 compressor station should not
drop below the required pressure limit).
 When pressure of 42” dia RLNG-II pipeline equalizes across the 42” dia valve then open
42” dia main valve at MVA Lundo.
 Open 24” dia interconnection valve “K” gradually at MVA Massu to allow RLNG Gas
flow through 42” dia pipeline from MVA Massu to Compressor Station HQ-2.
